Abstract
A 15-year-old male developed transient monocular visual loss secondary to retinal artery flow disturbance, vasospasm, and possible microemboli associated with acute rheumatic heart disease. He had insufficiently treated streptococcal pharyngitis. Inadequately treated rheumatic carditis should be considered among the causes of transient monocular visual loss in children.Entities:
